garlic scapes + guacamole

Ever had guac with garlic scapes? Because that's the only way I want to have guac from here on out!!

Seriously. Scrap the garlic powder and go get yourself some fresh garlic scapes. You can find them in Asian food markets or at your local farmer’s market.

I used one scape per avocado in this guacamole and it is FIRE! Unlike regular garlic, these long and lanky scapes are sweeter, refreshing, and not as spicy, which means you can add them raw into anything where you'd normally use garlic.

Tell me how you use your scapes because ya girl is trying to use these as much as possible this summer!
